Abstract

Since ancient times, human beings have had an affinity for consuming sweet foods, today a wide range of foods that
give this type of flavor are consumed, such as confectionery products, sugary drinks, baked goods, among others. These
foods have been enriched with sweeteners, which are molecules that can activate the sweet taste. Thanks to the
characteristics of these sweeteners and their interaction with receptors on the tongue, humans can taste the sweetness of
many foods. In this work, the important role of the sweet taste receptor and the most used sweeteners in the food
industry will be discussed.
